Man Utd injury blow with Anthony Martial a doubt to face Bosnia for France after hurting knee in win over Kazakhstan


MANCHESTER UNITED have dealt a new injury blow with Anthony Martial a doubt for France’s game against Bosnia.

The striker, 25, bagged an assist in Sunday’s 2-0 win against Kazakhstan.

But Martial was forced off the pitch after picking up a knock to his knee.

And RMC Sport now claims the forward is set to miss France’s third World Cup qualifier against Bosnia on Wednesday.

It’s said Martial took damage to the fibula on his left knee.

And it now remains to be seen if the ace will be fit for United’s Premier League clash against Brighton on Sunday.

Martial has already missed four games for the Red Devils this month with a hip problem.

And Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could be left with a dilemma in attack against Graham Potter’s relegation battlers.

Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood were both forced to withdraw from international duty with England and the U21s.

Meanwhile, Edinson Cavani has missed nine games since mid-February.

And the Uruguay international, tipped to leave United when his one-year deal expires this summer, could be forced to start up front despite his lack of minutes.

Martial is currently in his sixth season at Old Trafford and has scored 78 goals in 258 appearances.

But despite netting 23 times last term, he has just seven goals this season.

And reports claim United are on the hunt for a new leading striker, with Spurs’ Harry Kane and Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland linked.
